“Exploring the depths of my intersectional identity as a queer Pakistani person living in the diaspora. My work aims to engage the audience in heartfelt conversation and creating representation for queer and trans BIPOC community all over the world. ”
Bisma Jay is a queer multi-media artist who has recently graduated from OCAD University with a BFA in Photography. In their work, they seek to create more positive representation of queer and trans BIPOC folks living in the diaspora. In their spare time, they like to make videos for Instagram, design clothes, and take endless self-portraits. They are originally from Toronto, but have newly moved to Montreal to explore a new phase of their life: post graduation.
